Ingredients
Scale
Pie Ingredients:
- 5 cups strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Non-stick spray
- 1 package Pillsbury pie crust (2 crusts total)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Make the Filling: Add sliced strawberries, sugar, and salt to a saucepan. Let sit 15 minutes. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
- Thicken: Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir into the berries and cook 5 more minutes until thickened. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F. Spray pie dish or skillet with non-stick spray.
- Assemble Pie: Line dish with one pie crust. Add cooled strawberry filling. Top with second crust, crimp edges with a fork, and cut a small “X” in the center.
- Bake: Bake for 30–40 minutes until golden and bubbling. Cool completely for at least 2 hours.
- Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled pie and add sprinkles. Let glaze set before slicing.
Notes
- Filling must cool: Warm filling will melt the crust and prevent proper thickening.
- Don’t skip the cornstarch slurry: Ensures a sliceable filling.
- Customize: Use mixed berries, add lemon zest, or drizzle chocolate instead of glaze.
- Serving tip: Pair with ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent touch.
- Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days. Best served at room temperature or slightly warm.
